I find myself in the position of compiling a list of early chapter books, especially onces suited for boys. My little Mr. 6 year old is enjoying Dav Pilkey's Ricky Ricotta books so much that I have to plan for the next foray into kid reading.
My requirements: I am looking for books with lots of pictures, even comic book style. They also have to have a funny engaging plot. Underwear humor, beating up bad guys, and 1st grade humor are all important extras that can not be over emphasized.
By the way - sitting down and reading with your kids should be listed as an anti aging product. Laughing at the silly stories with the boys really makes me feel younger. Love and laughter together - the best.
